Gov. Chris Christie interrupts his New Hampshire campaign swing with a side trip to Maine this morning, where it appears he may pick up an endorsement for his 2016 bid.

Christie's campaign issued a revised schedule Tuesday night that switched this morning's appearance from Derry, New Hampshire, to Portland, Maine, where he'll take part in a "special announcement event" at Becky's Diner at 10 a.m.

Christie made a campaign stop at that diner with Maine Gov. Paul LePage in May 2014, one of Christie's five visits to Maine as Republican Governors Association chairman to help LePage win re-election. The RGA also spent $5 million on the race.

The special announcement could be an endorsement by the bombastic LePage. Christie told a Maine television station, in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, that he'd be meeting with LePage today.

"He’s a great friend. He and Ann have been great friends, and I look forward to spending some time with him tomorrow,” Christie said, according to WMTW.
